“We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.” William Glasser.

There’s a feeling of liberation today as the Moon frolics through forward-thinking Sagittarius.  We feel a little like the tiny mouse that has escaped the clutches of a big fat cat. We require space to roam around.  We don’t want anyone cornering us.

With the Moon’s quinqunxes to Mercury and the Sun in slower-moving Taurus, we may feel a little awkward articulating or discussing more practical concerns. We need a little more time to weigh and digest in this area.  Other than that, the energy of the day is very enthusiastic and free-flowing. We have a sextile to social Venus, a trine to energetic Mars.

The Sagittarius Moon gives us a good measure of forward momentum to handle the ongoing Saturn-Uranus opposition.  What to keep, what to let go?  Today we may feel more comfortable letting go.  It’s not such a scary thing now. We are more hopeful. We reckon change might be a welcome dinner guest.

“All of life is a foreign country.” Jack Kerouac

Event in history on this date: April 30, 1939 – NBC / RCA 1st public TV demo with Franklin D. Roosevelt at opening of New York World’s Fair.

On that day, pioneering Mars in Capricorn, the sign which rules public officials (depicting Roosevelt here), was exactly harmoniously trine to Neptune in Virgo.  Neptune rules pictures; Virgo reveals the inner workings of things.  Perfect mix of energy for showcasing the magic of television.

Expansive  Jupiter was also near the end of  Neptune-ruled Pisces applying to a trine to transforming Pluto in Cancer, the sign of home and family. Whenever Jupiter travels through a sign it tends to create new opportunities for the areas ruled by that sign. Of course as we all know, the TV would eventually end up as a fixture in homes everywhere around the world, changing our daily lives and also dramatically (Pluto) impacting families.
